Greek FM calls Turkey ‘a jihadist travel agency’

Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias reiterated on Tuesday that Turkey is a regional troublemaker, acting outside the limits of international law, local media sources reported. 

“By threatening with the use of force; It has threatened Greece with war, if Greece acts in accordance with its sovereign right, and extends its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles; by instrumentalizing migration; spreading propaganda and false news; worsening challenges to security,” he said during a joint press conference with his Cypriot and Jordanian counterparts in Amman.

Dendias also accused Turkey of moving jihadists from Libya to the Caucasus, “what I call a ‘jihadist travel agency,’ and endangering peace and stability in the region.”

Greece has repeatedly called on Ankara to engage in a constructive dialogue with all countries that “are law-abiding and share the values we share,” he added.
